I will remember just how Simon Cowell's eyes and ears "light up" upon hearing Susan Boyle's voice on Britain's Got Talent. After more than one listen, the 'cover' songs that stuck out are as follows: I Dreamed a Dream; Wild Horses; 'traditional' songs like How Great Thou Art & Amazing Grace; You'll See; and Cry Me a River. The tempo will be slow so expect the talent of her voice to be the highlight and guide.

Some generally good tracks, but a little restrained compared to her spine chilling singing on TV. I question some of the song choices, like covers of pop tunes. After a few listenings the Monkees cover is good, but the Madonna cover seems ill concieved. Perhaps they rushed this album a bit.
